    About

    POTLIB is an online library of global and semiglobal potential energy surface subprograms for calculating Born-Oppenheimer energies as a function of nuclear geometry. The library currently features nearly 300 potential energy routines for a wide range of chemical systems. Our goal is to facilitate chemical dynamics research by collecting and disseminating a comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art potential energy routines (developed by a wide, international group of researchers) with systematic and well-defined interfaces for use with chemical dynamics programs.

    Distribution policy

    Potential energy routines may be freely downloaded and used. If a potential routine is used for published work, users are asked agree to the following terms:

    1. The publication should give the original reference for the potential that is shown in downloaded files.

    2. The publication should reference the online POTLIB library

    Contributions to POTLIB

    POTLIB welcomes contributed potential energy subroutines. Please submit your routines to Ahren Jasper (ajasper@anl.gov).

    Although it is encouraged that the contributed routines conform to one of the standard interfaces, it is not necessary.

    POTLIB-2001

    POTLIB builds on the POTLIB-2001 library, originally published in the CPC Program Library:
